The backup strategy can be your biggest defense in case of a cyber-attack. Establishing a good strategy to perform the data protection process is an essential part of an effective risk management program and even more so when our infrastructure is based on virtualized environments, with a process of constant data replication.
The design of the strategy will depend on the size of the organization and the amount of data generated by the company operation. As part of the strategy, we must consider both the process that is executed to obtain the backup and the process of restoring the data. To design an effective strategy, we must focus primarily and with a thorough evaluation of the planning, implementation, and management of testing procedures. For this we must consider primary the following:
1. The criticality of the business process and the applications that support them
2. The objectives of the organization, especially the availability requirements
3. Cost and security
4. Restrictions on hardware, personnel, space to store data, available backup media and their physical security.
If backup services are managed by third parties, agreements must be implemented to guarantee the continuity of operations within the company in the event of an adverse event materializing. In this scenario, it is important that information systems staff should work closely with the external entity to ensure that the requirements of the company are being met as agreed.
